DESCRIPTION: MultiRes works very much like a 32-bit version of the
venerable Microsoft QuickRes 16-bit applet for Windows 95, with
administrative
scripting facilities and extended capabilities to handle ClearType,
refresh rates and multiple monitors. Supported resolution and refresh
rates are accessible from the command-line or from a simple menu that
pops up from the system tray. An optional timed confirmation prompt -
enabled by default in the program About box - ensures that any changes
you make can be reversed safely, without fuss. While MultiRes - unlike
EnTech's PowerStrip - does not allow you to define new display
settings, it does give you quick and easy access to the ones the
driver makes available - in a simple, compact and conservative
package.

WINDOWS_OS: NT(SP3+), Windows 2000, XP and Vista (32/64-bit)
OTHER_OS:
DESCRIPTION: Mouse wheel enhancement for Windows.
The prime purpose of the KatMouse utility is to enhance the
functionality of mice with a scroll wheel, offering 'universal'
scrolling: moving the mouse wheel will scroll the window directly
beneath the mouse cursor (not the one with the keyboard focus, which
is default on Windows OSes). This is a major increase in the
usefullness of the mouse wheel.

Another feature involves the wheel button. Since the wheel button is
not consistently used in Windows, KatMouse can use it for a kind of
task switching: with a click of the wheel button you can push a window
to the buttom of the stack of windows that is your desktop, making a
recovered window the active window.

DOWNLOAD: http://dirhtml.enware.info/dirhtml.zip
WINDOWS_OS: Windows NT/2000/XP/VISTA
OTHER_OS: under Wine on most Linux distributions
DESCRIPTION: Dirhtml a freeware index.html generator. Dirhtml
generates customizable html files from a folder branch. Using
scripts, dirhtml can create unique and arbitrarily complex files.
The underlying concept of dirhtml is that it creates table-based
folder listings that can be formatted in any way the user can dream up
by using scripts.
Possible uses of dirhtml:
- Generate index.html pages for web servers
- Locate particular files on disks (including mapped network disks),
say like make index.html files for downloaded books, manuals,
software or other collections.
- Create randomized file lists (for example, lists of mp3 files)
- Generate index pages that span entire folder branches
Since dirhtml outputs html files, any build results in a static record
of a folder branch at the time it was executed, which can be saved for
future reference. Dirhtml can be run from the command line using batch
files. Consequently, it can regenerate all index.html's on a server
via a scheduled execution of appropriate batch files. Dirhtml is
portable, "registry green" freeware. Help files in hmtl-format
included.

DESCRIPTION: External version of Total Commander's
built-in viewer. Lister is a standalone viewer for text (ASCII, ANSI,
Unicode, UTF-8, RTF), html files (formatted text and links), bitmaps
and certain multimedia files. Any file can be browsed with a fixed
length binary and a hex view. Lister can display pictures and other
multimedia files using Irfanview or XNView as a filter. Lister Plugins
written for Total Commander are supported, too. These plugins are
available for a broad variety of file formats (executables, databases,
CAD, GIS, office documents, archive files, fonts, Palm files,
torrents, playlists,...), making Lister an excellent multi-format
viewer. Some plugins also add edit facilities. Documents can be
searched for text and hexadecimal strings. Text can be selected,
copied to clipboard and printed. Customization is possible via command
line and (if necessary various) *.ini file(s).
REMARKS: BeAr (2006): Lister is very fast and handles files of nearly
unlimited size without problems. Plugins should be tested after
installation. Some
are not stable, yet, and may crash Lister.
Bjorn S. (2008): Lister is perfect for quick offline text-mode viewing
of
html files; tags are stripped, links and most basic layout kept.

DESCRIPTION: FileNote is a little shell extension that allows you to add
textual descriptions to your files. It adds one command to the shell
context
menu of a file object. This command lets you easily edit or create a
text file that has the same name as the initial file, but with the
extension TXT. For example, if you have a file, MyImage.jpg, you
right-click on that file and choose the FileNote command from the
context menu. A new text file called MyImage.txt is created and
Notepad is opened to edit that text file. If a text file with that
name already exists, it will be opened for viewing/editing.

Notice: Filenote comes as part of the authors ShellTools install.
Shell Tools is a collection of free Windows shell extensions and
utilities. The package contains updated versions of the authors old
shell extensions FontLoader, FileNote, RegisterEx, CopyURL and new
ones, including a control panel that allows you to control all the
extensions in one place. You can disable (most of) the other
extensions if for example you only want to use FileNote.

Resources can be saved as image files, as script files, as binary
resource files, or as untyped binary files. Resources can be modified by
replacing the resource with a resource located in another file or by
using the internal resource script compiler. Dialog controls can also be
visually moved and/or resized by clicking and dragging the respective
dialog controls prior to recompiling with the internal compiler.
Resources can be added to an application by copying them from external
resource files.

ExifTool is also available as a stand-alone Windows executable and a
Macintosh OS X package. Note that these versions contain the executable
only, and do not include the HTML documentation or other files of the
full distribution above.

ExifTool GUI:
ExifTool is "Command-Line" utility. That means, there's no
Graphic User Interface (GUI), so all work must be done by typing
commands
inside "Command Prompt" window. Such approach gives ExifTool great
flexibility, but is somehow difficult to use -especially for those who
aren't familiar with old DOS workflow.

So, I've decided do make some simple ExifTool GUI for my private use.
There are allready some GUI's that make use of ExifTool, but some of
them
are not flexible enough (for my needs) and/or have quite limited use.
Making ExifToolGUI, the main goal was:
# -view all metadata that ExifTool recognizes,
# -ability to edit most frequently used Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata
tags,
# -batch capability (where appropriate), means: you can select multiple
files and modify them at once.

the background you'll be reminded of your dates as soon as the
forewarn time is reached. Independent from the calendar function there
is also a todo list where you can enter tasks with a deadline and a
forewarn time. If the forewarn time is reached, "UK's Kalender" will
inform you of the due tasks with symbols and colors. A no-install
version and other langauge versions also available.

REMARKS: Bjorn S.: Been using this for a few years, updating to new
version
once in a while. It has all a simple calendar and reminder utility
should
have I think, and then some. It is intuitive to learn and use, no
steep learning curve, just begin using it and explore the features as
you go. This is how good software should bee be made IMHO.

DESCRIPTION: When it comes to saving documents to the web, Adobe's PDF
format rules the roost. However, users have traditionally grumbled
about the fact
that you need to shell out lots of cash in order to get Acrobat, the
program used to create PDF files. Thankfully, FreePDF offers a free
alternative that does a pretty good job of making PDF files complete
with password protection. As a result, you can use the program to save
files from a number of formats into printable format, including Word
documents, pictures or Web pages.

The program is a doddle to use, installing itself on your machine and
adding an option for you to 'Print to PDF' in your printer dialog.
From here you can choose from a wide variety of options for output,
such as the dimensions or the resoltution. Despite the fact that
you're limited to the number of PDF files you can generate, FreePDF XP
performs very well and is a viable alternative to Acrobat.

DESCRIPTION: Kerio Personal Firewall is a small and easy-to-use system
designed for protecting a personal computer against hacker attacks and
data leaks.
It is based on the ICSA certified technology used in the WinRoute
firewall. The firewall itself runs as a background service, using a
special low-level driver loaded into the system kernel. This driver is
placed at the lowest possible level above the network hardware
drivers. Therefore, it has absolute control over all passing packets
and is able to ensure complete protection of the system it is
installed on.

REMARKS: Kerio Personal Firewall was acquired by Sunbelt
Software and has been morphed and developed into Sunbelt Personal
Firewall. While a free-for-home-use version of "SPF" is available, KPF
2.1.5 remains a classic, preferred by some. It is valued by Win9x
users without a hardware router, for the ease with which it can be set
to permit unchallenged outbound internet access, while blocking
inbound attacks, mimicking the function of the XP firewall.

WINDOWS_OS: 2000, XP, 2003, Vista

DESCRIPTION: USBDLM, USB Drive Letter Manager, is a Windows service that
gives control over Window's drive letter assignment for USB drives.
Running
as service makes it independent of the logged on user's privileges, so
there is no need to give the users the privilege to change drive
letters. All functions are applied to USB drives at the moment they
are being attached, when the USBDLM service starts up and when a user
logs on. USBDLM runs as Win32 service under Windows 2000, XP,
Server
2003 and Vista. 64 Bit versions are untested but should work too.
USBDLM automatically solves conflicts between USB drives and network
or subst drives of the currently logged on user. Furthermore you can
define new default letters for USB drives and much more. Among other
things it can be confgirued to remove drive letters of card readers
until a card is inserted. See online helpfile for all features
http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_help_e.html.

REMARKS: Bjorn S.:
I manage a few public computers. They all have various card readers to
which Windows by default assigners drive letters. Utterly confusing
for users who want to insert a USB stick. Which of the many drive
letters present here is mine? - they ask. Problem solved with USBDLM,
preventing drive letter assignment for empty card readers. I can also
use it to make a list of drive letters (or just one) to be used for
any USB device inserted. This way I can answer the "Which drive letter
is mine" question from users without even looking. (But since I
removed the "empty card" drive letters, few if any needs to ask).
Configuration is stored in a ini file, which can be copied from one
machine to the next. Nice and simple.

Second description:
You can open as many files in EditPad at a time as you want.
You change between the open files by clicking on their tabs. No hassle
with heaps of overlapping windows.
You will enjoy EditPad's unlimited undo and redo. You can even undo
changes after saving them, as long as you did not close the file.
EditPad reads and writes UNIX (LF only) and Mac (CR only) text files
(in addition to DOS/Windows CR+LF files, of course).
With EditPad you can directly edit Unicode text files and text files
encoded in a variety of legacy code pages. EditPad supports all
Windows and ISO-8859 code pages, plus a wide selection of DOS, KOI8
and EBCDIC code pages. This means EditPad can edit any text file,
whether it was saved on a Windows or Linux computer, an old DOS PC or
an IBM mainframe.

If you run EditPad again when there is already an instance running,
the file(s) you wish to edit will be opened by the existing EditPad
window. This means there will be at most one EditPad window open,
which will save you from a lot of task switching.
Of course, if you do need more instances, simply pick View|New editor
from the menu.
Block functions: save parts of your text to disk and insert a file in
the current text.
You can specify many print settings: font, margins, headers/footers,
etc. and immediately see the effects in the print preview.
You have the option to keep the EditPad window on top of all other
windows.

When you close an unsaved file, EditPad will either warn you,
automatically save the file as you prefer. Reopen menu that lists the
last 16 files opened.
EditPad puts an icon in the system tray that remains visible, even if
EditPad is closed. This way you have easy and fast access to EditPad,
without the need to keep it running all the time. If you do not like
this, you can, of course, disable this feature and make EditPad behave
like a normal Windows application.
EditPad fully supports double byte character systems (DBCS) so you can
edit texts written in Far East languages, such as Chinese, Japanese or
Korean, as easily as those written in European languages.
Many settings such as word wrap, line numbering and auto indent can be
made for each file type individually. You could activate word wrap but
not auto indent when editing a plain text file, and just the other way
around when editing source code. You can also define your own file
types which will be used to build the filters for open and save dialog
boxes.

Configure EditPad's appearance to your own taste and eyesight. Select
the colors, font face and font size that you like. Make text cursor
highly visible by selecting its size, color and blinking style. Make
the mouse pointer easy to spot by choosing its shape and colors.
Uppercase, lowercase, invert case and initial caps conversion
Easy and working installation and uninstallation, delivered with
DeployMaster.
Free for non-commercial use. (Professionals should use EditPad Pro)
